When in Rome-When

 "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"

Many often hear this phrase, but what does it really mean? The statement mean that when in new environments, try to follow the customs and traditions of the area, often used when speaking of heading to foreign countries. This is to avoid conflict that could arise from not knowing the culture. A popular story thought to hold the key to this mystery, is that when St. Augustine asked St. Ambrose to go on a mission to Rome, he didn't know what holy day to follow to fast, as Romans held it on a different day. St. Augustine wisely told Ambrose, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

The hippocampus is the mythological creature shared by Greek and Phoenician mythology, though the name is purely Greek, meaning "horse" and "monster." It is often called a sea-horse in English. Typically the horse is the front part and a coiling, scaly, fish-like tail. The hippocampus became a part of Etruscan mythology, which affects Roman mythology. Neptune often drives a sea-chariot pulled by hippocampi.

Titans-What

 The Titans were: Kronos, Koios, Krios, Hyperion, Iapetos, Okeanos, Ouranos, and Gaia. They ruled the cosmos before the Olympians came to power. Hyperion, Koios, Krios, and Iapetos were all posted at the 4 corners of the world, and the Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires were placed in the pit of Tartaros.
A prophecy was told that Kronos' children would overthrow him. Therefore, he ate all of his children as soon as they were born. When Zeus was born, Rhea gave to Kronos, the Titan-king, a rock to eat instead. When Zeus grew up he made Kronos disgorge his siblings, who, being immortal, were still alive. The gods then overthrew the Titans.

Temple of Peace-Where

The Temple of Peace (AKA Forum of Peace) was built by Vespasian. It was built with the spoils of the Jewish War after the fall of Jerusalem in 71 AD. The temple was dedicated in 75 AD, and it was one of the most impressive monuments in the city. It was located north of the Basilica Aemilia that was in an area of the city that hadn't recovered from the great fire of 64 AD. The forum included a plaza with garden, a temple, and a library, within which were placed many of the treasures from Jerusalem. Vespasian brought multitudes of important works of art from all of Rome to the temple. He made the collection available for the enjoyment of the public.

Domus Augustana-Where

The Domus Augustana was the principal residence of the emperors in Rome from the late 1st to 3rd centuries AD. It covered an enormous area on the southeastern side of the Palatine. This structure dates to the time of Domitian (AD 51-96). It was designed by his architect, Rabirius. The Domus Augustana sits on massive terraces where the House of Griffins and Nero's Domus Transitoria were buried.

It was located inside of the Circus Maximus, the Hippodrome, and the Septizodium.

Definition of a Hero

A hero is one who makes a positive difference in someone else's life. This could be in the form of the garden variety superheroes like Superman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, etc. It could also be one of the great heroes of Greek mythology, like Perseus, Heracles, and Achilles who are eventually deified. Then there are the less known heroes, the person who saves a child from a life of crime and redirects him towards good, or the person in the bank during the robbery who takes down the robber before he strikes, or all the policemen/policewomen and firefighters from 9/11, or the soldiers in Iraq who gave their lives for their country. A hero is one who is selfless for the good of others. Heroes may not always succeed. Maybe the man trying to stop the robber gets shot, but that doesn't make him any less of a hero. The thought and act of self-sacrifice, courage, altruism, and moral good were there.
Heroes are not the ones who score the game-winning touchdown or make the last goal in their soccer game to win it, they are the ordinary people who do extraordinary things. Heroes don't necessarily have to be the big, courageous, strong types either. The person who donates his time and efforts to Manna House, for example, is a hero of his own.
Heros are also not those who do the act of heroism just for the credit. They are those who never want the credit.
A hero is one who does great deeds for the benefit of others. A hero makes a difference.

Satyrs-What
